cspiwak | 4 muuta kirja-arvostelua | Mar 6, 2024 | Delightfully written, if I may express the subject material in such a way. Erika Engelhaupt takes us through numerous topics on the mentionable and unmentionable that we mostly know exist but generally don't discuss in depth.
Fascinating and in many instances gross things appear and are digested in our thoughts and sometimes in realty we find. It sums out how varied and in many cases strange this world we inhabit is. A book that we should all take in from time to time to get in touch with the other side out there.… (lisätietoja)

knightlight777 | 4 muuta kirja-arvostelua | May 22, 2022 | This is a selection of expanded blog articles on a variety of topics, all of them macabre, taboo, or disgusting. I didn't read it straight through but rather jumped around based on what subjects interested me. I thought the essays were interesting, but once I became intrigued by the subject, I was often left wanting more depth and detail than the short essays could provide. A fun book for dipping into but not much more than that.

sturlington | 4 muuta kirja-arvostelua | Jan 31, 2022 | Erika Engelhaupt is a science journalist and in Gory Details: Adventures from the Dark Side of Science, she shines a light on the gross, the bizarre, the taboo and morbidly fascinating elements of science.
Engelhaupt divides her book into the following six parts, each containing multiple chapters:
1. Morbid Curiosity
2. That's Disgusting
3. Breaking Taboos
4. Creepy Crawlies
5. Gross Anatomy
6. Mysterious Minds
Writing the column Gory Details for National Geographic, Engelhaupt covers a broad range of subjects in the book, including a few of my favourite topics of interest:
- Frances Glessner Lee's dollhouse crime scene dioramas (or nutshells) used to train detectives and forensic investigators
- Super recognisers and their ability to fight crime
- Floating feet in British Columbia
- Fatbergs
- The Mandela Effect
She also introduced me to fascinating new topics, like:
- The smell of sickness
- Necrophilia in the animal kingdom
- Misophonia, a strong reaction to particular sounds and noises
- Insects inside the body
Many of these topics had me heading to Google for more information, my interest having been well and truly piqued. I listened to the audiobook of Gory Details, and the short chapters made for excellent reading, often covering a topic in 10-15 mins.
Gory Details by Erika Engelhaupt is highly recommended for trivia buffs and if you enjoy the non fiction writing of Mary Roach or Caitlin Doughty, this is definitely for you. Also recommended for those with an interest in the world of science, biology, anatomy and nature.… (lisätietoja)
